Mamp

I installed mamp on my mac this morning. MAMP is a one click install of
Apache
MySQL
PHP
For macintosh.

Whoever wrote this software should be commended. The UI is outstanding by mac standards. Very simple.

There isn't much to apache. You just run it. Same with PHP. No config. You just use it. Mysql - have never used it. Thinking to by an oreiley book on mysql.

LAMP does the same thing for linux.
WAMP does the same thing for windows.

Do a find on LAMP WAMP MAMP on Wikipedia. You'll find even more products of similiar flavours. Like SQL server versions.

New search idea

Don't know if this would be feasible.

Current search model works like this.

Type in search parms.
Press return
You get back links to other pages.

Each one of those 'sites' has a full user interface with buttons more links ads etc etc

But what if they don't WANT to create a UI? With todays search model they have to create that UI. You can't surf raw data. It has to be presented.

So what if the model was divided in two pieces (or more?)

You'd have data keepers. And you'd have presentation providers. Each would partner with each other and each would do what they do best.

Adobe would be a great presentation provider. They're great at that. New york times is a great data keeper. Same with WSJ.

We already have crude examples of this. My yahoo comes to mind. But their presentation of the news is lackluster and plain.

Google has a similiar feature that allows users to show snippets of news from RSS enabled websites but again its very plain and boring to the eyes.

Digg.com is something like this model. But even though their website looks modern its still basically a bunch of bullet point items marching down the page.

Need to go back and look at newsvine.com again
